Compressed air is widely used particularly in industry. In order to increase the quality of the process and lifetime of the machine, the compressed air should be dried. Therefore the air is used after compression and drying processes. The most commonly used machines that do this process are called “Refrigerant Air Dryers”. These air dryers are designed to cool and dehumidify the moist air. The process of decreasing temperature is carried out by a refrigerant, R134a. Unlike design conditions, dryers are working in variable loads (variable compressed air flow rates). An experimental setup is prepared for analyzing the variance on the machine and the performance under these variable loads. This thesis includes the design, preparation and the modification of the refrigeration experimental setup for refrigerant air dryers. The setup is tested under three different conditions and the results are compared.
